Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / March 2005tinnitus suppression with novocain
In Nov 2004 I had a dental deep cleaning process done. To those unfamiliar, its a plaque cleaning process under the gum line, invasive and very uncomfortable to have done. All four quadrants were done, and I was injected with Novocain in several places including my jaw joints. After injected, my tinnitus (I consider it severe) completely went away which was unbelievable. Unfortunately as the Novocain wore off in 2 hours, the tinnitus came back. I wear 2 hearing aids. My tinnitus is still so loud it interferes with understanding conversation, it has to be one-on-one to communicate reliably. Loud places and group meetings are close to impossible for conversations. Is there a person who has a similar experience? > In Nov 2004 I had a dental deep cleaning process done. > To those unfamiliar, its a plaque cleaning process under [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Is there a person who has a similar experience? I haven't experience the Novocain phenomena, perhaps because I haven't had much Novocain and have habituated my tinnitus and probably wouldn't be thinking of it during a dental procedure. I don't wear hearing aids. We certainly do share the speech discrimination problem, however, as I also understand speech in a one-on-one conversation. Group meetings are very difficult for me, as is conversing when a TV or radio is playing. This started when my tinnitus started and has not been alleviated through habituation. >> In Nov 2004 I had a dental deep cleaning process done. >> To those unfamiliar, its a plaque cleaning process under [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > started when my tinnitus started and has not been alleviated through > habituation. And, so it goes with tinnitus. What affects one person with positive reactions doesn't necessarily affect another the same way. Too many variables. How is your tinnitus..........now that you are thinking about it, Bill?  Signature*´¨) . ·´ ¸.·*¨) ¸.·*¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.*´ ¸.·´ `·-* * Patty * `·-* <snip> > And, so it goes with tinnitus.

You know, Patty, I haven't thought of it much lately. Now that you made me listen for it, I hear it as loud as ever. At this moment it is high pitched and raspy. Thanks for asking. :-) How is yours? > <snip> >> And, so it goes with tinnitus. What affects one person with positive [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > How is yours? Still the same high pitched sound it has always been. A little more noticeable now that I've read your post and am replying to it. Thanks so much for asking. :-) Signature*´¨) . ·´ ¸.·*¨) ¸.·*¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.*´ ¸.·´ `·-* * Patty * `·-* That is a well known fact in some circles. In Sweden this fact has been the basis for their current tinnitus treatment. http://www.yts.se/english/index.htm But if you can't get to Sweden - try here http://tinnitusbook.com Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ >In Nov 2004 I had a dental deep cleaning process done. >To those unfamiliar, its a plaque cleaning process under [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >Is there a person who has a similar experience? I went to the Swedish site & read: "Tinnitus caused by muscle tension People who have tinnitus related to muscle tension usually tell us they experience facial pain and pain in their jaws and neck. They experience difficulties opening their mouths wide and their jaws often feel tired. Many have stiff necks. They experience that their tinnitus changes over the course of time and that it increases during stress. Many of them can manipulate their tinnitus by clenching their teeth, opening their mouths wide, moving the jaw to it's outmost right, left or when moving it forward. Some tell us they can change their tinnitus by turning their heads or by pressing down on certain areas of the face, neck or head. The signals to the brainstem increase during these movements. " This is me! Moving my jaw forward causes my T to increase. And I was having neck problems before the onset of T. So I guess I'll work on relaxing muscle tension. Thanks for the information. > That is a well known fact in some circles. > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >> >>Is there a person who has a similar experience? I have Tinnitus, I have had it since I was in the army in 1955. I had Arnold Chiari Malformation surgery several years ago. After I came out of surgery I realized my Tinnitus was gone. It stayed gone for about a week. I always wonder why my Tinnitus stopped and why it returned.
